Brighton's Brightest YouTube Star

Google

For most, YouTube is an entertainment hub - full of irresistibly mischievous cats and trendy music videos. However, for some like 16 year old singer and songwriter Maisie Peters, YouTube is an outlet for her creative spirit and contagious energy. Joined in 2013, Peters has raked in about 22,000 subscribers on sheer talent. While her videos aren't averaging millions of views like the coveted Vevo YouTube royalty manages, many have tuned in to hear her sultry-sweet fast-paced lyrical masterpieces. Having been featured on the Ayala show, which showcases the best in live music, and winning her school's talent show with her original 'Electric,' Peters has all the key elements needed to go far. Describing herself as a "singer songwriter from Brighton who likes writing songs with too many words in them and prefers the term vertically challenged," Peters possesses both the depth and maturity of someone long out of school, managing to balance schoolwork and songwriting while still capturing the hearts of many with her colloquial mannerisms and iconic bangs. While she is starting small, I personally have no doubt Maisie is well on her way to stardom.

For me, Maisie's quick tongue and smart rhetoric is truly astonishing, especially when paired with her guitar and effortless acoustics. I don't often surf YouTube for originals because I find that some are too staged or well overdone - but exactly the opposite is true whenever I'm listening to her pieces. For anyone who is looking for something new that truly speaks volumes - or even for anyone who needs the extra push to open their minds to true talent, like me, Maisie's music is for you. Specializing in showcasing a full spectrum of emotions, perhaps one of her greatest strengths is her versatility in themes for music - as one week she can be singing upbeat pop and the other she's fully engrossed in the insightful message she's conveying with her piece -whether it's about relationships or expectations. Thoughtful and refined, Peters has crafted the ideal vision of raw, untapped talent - but the best part is that she didn't have to actually 'craft' much.

"But could you hold on just a little while
I sequence all my scribbles
Into novels filled with stars I’ll never send
Coz I’m essentially a writer
Who never seems to makes it to the end"

The lyrics are pure wizardry. But just when you thought that she couldn't get any more adorable and relatable, you find this gem like I did - and hum it everywhere you go.

I could not agree more - and you definitely don't have to lie to make us like you, Maisie.

March 14th, 2016

Not only does she write, sing, and play guitar, but she also directs and acts in her own music videos - singing only about toast while really subliminally hinting at what we're all afraid of deep down.

"Well you’ll still grow into a someone with a mortgage and a wife
Maybe she’ll be called Rebecca she’s the Love Of Your Life
And you’ll have three kids and a garden and I’ll still just be a three out of ten
And in the e-e-end
You’ll fall for those like Becca and I’ll just become another Facebook friend"

If you're looking for more, Maisie just released another original, 'The One,' which can be found on her YouTube channel along with many other pieces, all of which I adore.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
